Craftsman Nextec Power Tool Set

I recently purchased the Craftsman Nextec 12v power tool set. Here it is:

So far, I like the set a lot. I have used the drill many times, as well as the light. The drill has suprising power for a 12v, and the 30 minute charge seems to charge in about 20 minutes. The Light under the drill is a nice touch, but since it throws the light straight out between the drill bit and the trigger, it is limited in what it can illuminate. I think it would be better to have the light originate from the bottom of the handle and point up at an angle to the drill bit.

The work light is well made. It is small, and the pivoting head makes it easy to work with. It is also suprisingly bright. I plan on giving the 12v hammer a try this week. I will keep you posted, if you dare the pun.
